Mark-spiers1

Mark Spiers developed and enhanced data migration, modeling, and search features for the NHSDigital/ftrs-directory-of-services repository over five months. He engineered pipelines to ingest and transform healthcare service data from both local and AWS S3 sources, leveraging Python, Pandas, and SQLAlchemy for robust ETL and data modeling. Mark refactored domain models to use strongly-typed enums, improving data integrity and maintainability, and implemented dynamic routing logic for symptom discriminators. He also introduced a local OpenSearch index to migrate data from DynamoDB, enabling faster, scalable search. His work demonstrated depth in backend development, cloud integration, and test-driven engineering practices.
